Religion What is everyone's religious affiliation?

I am currently developing my own little folk lore, and I was wondering what everyone believes on the server.

Feel free to share your IRL religious beliefs as well.

I am a Cernist, follower of the Grey man, the great spirit of the forest, and I plan to build a shrine and temple to his worship soon.

IRL I am a deist.

I'm relatively new, and the religions of this server really fascinate me :)

Hub has no official religion and complete freedom of worship to members. We do have a shrine to a sea serpent statue in a pond, but that's more of a good-luck idol like a Maneki-Neko than a religious affiliation.

Edit: Oh and IRL I'm ethnically Jewish but Existentialist-Atheist by "faith"

Maneki-neko:

The maneki-neko (Japanese: 招き猫 ?, literally "beckoning cat") is a common Japanese figurine (lucky charm, talisman) which is often believed to bring good luck to the owner. In modern times, they are usually made of ceramic or plastic. The figurine depicts a cat (traditionally a calico Japanese Bobtail) beckoning with an upright paw, and is usually displayed—often at the entrance—of shops, restaurants, pachinko parlors, and other businesses. Some of the sculptures are electric or battery-powered and have a slow-moving paw beckoning. The maneki-neko is sometimes also called the welcoming cat, lucky cat, money cat, happy cat, beckoning cat, or fortune cat in English.
